From Frustration to Function: Vibecoding #WhatSaysYou

Imagine a future of work and technology where

"You don’t need to code. You just need to care enough to solve a real problem."

Seven years ago, I had a moment.

One of those thoughts that sticks with you.

You’ve crafted the perfect LinkedIn post. You’re hovering over “Post.” And then… you freeze.

Who do I tag?

Get it wrong, you look desperate. Get it right, and people start talking.

That idea stayed in my head. For years.I put it off — like many of us do — while chasing bigger projects, speaking gigs, or funding missions that seemed more pressing.

Then, one morning last week, I opened up Claude, made a strong black coffee… and decided to build it.

Not the long way.Not with a team of developers and a three-month roadmap.

Just me. An AI assistant. And an old idea that wouldn’t let go.

Seven days later, WhatSaysYou was live.

And people were already using it.

Vibecoding: How Ideas Become Real — Without Traditional Coding

This wasn’t built with Python or React or whatever today’s trendy stack is.This was built with something I call vibecoding.

It’s a way of building with AI.You bring the idea, the frustration, the human insight. The AI handles the build.

No code school. No GitHub rabbit holes.You just describe what you want — and if you’ve got the right tools — you can have a working solution in hours.

I explained it. Claude handled the syntax. We refined it together. Done.

This changes the game.And not just for developers — for anyone who’s ever said:"I wish I could just build this myself."

Now you can.

Why WhatSaysYou Works

Let me be clear — WhatSaysYou doesn’t write your LinkedIn content. It finishes it.

Specifically, it helps you tag th

No spammy vibes

• No engagement bait
• Just smarter tagging, rooted in relevance
• It draws from what I’ve learned over years of working with digital behaviour, user psychology and platform dynamics. Tools like this only work when they understand the human side.

And here’s the key stat from the most recent State of the Algorithm report:

Posts with engagement from 2nd-degree connections and experts tend to perform better over time.

WhatSaysYou is designed to make sure you’re never tagging in the dark again.

But It’s Not

Really About Tagging

This is about something bigger.

When anyone can describe a problem and build a tool to fix it — even a small one — that shifts everything.

It’s the start of something that genuinely matters for the future of work.No more waiting for the dev team to get around to your idea.No more “someone should build this.”

You are someone.

The Process (In Case You Want to Build Something Too)

Here’s how I went from “I wish I had this” to “Here it is” — in just a week:

Day 1–2: Clarify the painIt wasn’t just “tagging is annoying.” It was “I want to tag people who’ll actually care.”

Day 3–4: Map the journeyI outlined how it should feel. What should the user input? What should they get back?

Day 5–6: AI builds, I shapeClaude wrote the code. I tested it. Tweaked the interface. Refined the logic.

Day 7: Polish and releaseEdge cases, final tests — then it went live.

The whole thing felt more like collaboration than development.

Where to Start Vibecoding

You probably have an idea right now. Some friction at work. Some repetitive task that drives you up the wall.

That’s your starting point.

Think like a problem-solver, not a coder

• Describe the pain clearly
• Use AI to build the first version
• Share it. Get feedback. Improve it.
• You don’t need to be technical. You just need to care about fixing something.

Why This Matters for the Future of Work

This is where I get genuinely fired up.

Vibecoding means:

Marketing teams can build tools for their exact needs

• Ops leads can automate reporting without devs
• People closest to the pain can solve it themselves
• This is a shift I’ve been talking about for years in my keynotes — and now it’s happening.

We’re not waiting on permission anymore.

We’re building.
